Meet Your Next Pair of Jeans

Two ways to get at the best denim Levi’s has to offer. Option A: marry into the Strauss family. Option B:
jump on the F train and visit Smith + Butler. They’re hosting a mini Made & Crafted pop-up featuring
the company’s finest trousers. Your legs will have no idea what hit them.

Smoked Martinis on the UES

Cocktail purist, look away. An Italian joint way up east is trying out some new twists on the classic
martini. Like incorporating breakfast (pear vodka, pecorino and balsamic reduction). Also, smoked salmon.
You always thought Nova Scotia had great garnish potential.

Saturday

MUG SHOT

Brewing Your Coffee with Lightbulbs

Your morning coffee. Serious business. We wouldn’t suggest altering it unless there was a good reason...
or a reason involving lightbulbs. Introducing Blue Bottle, a famous West Coast java shop that practices
siphon brewing: slow-dripping joe using a steampunk contraption with halogen lamps. Don’t try this at
home.

Sunday

IVORY COAST

Brunch and Jazz at the Americano

The plan of attack for brunch this Sunday: a black banquette for two at the Americano. On the menu: eggs
with Latin flair (specifically salsa verde) and a pickled jalapeño burger. On the mic: a
multi-Grammy-award-nominated jazz musician. Who had absolutely nothing to do with that Nicki Minaj
performance.

Monday

Eataly is trying something new with their pizza. Letting Motorino make it. And Keste. And Forcella. Starting
Monday, the Italian food capital of New York will host a different pizzeria each week (for the next six
weeks). Think of it as a collaborative celebration of all things Neapolitan. Or a thin-crust exchange
program.
